Inpatient Drug RehabOnce you realize you have an addiction to drugs or alcohol, probably the first thought that came to your mind was whether or not you should think about going to inpatient drug rehab or alcohol rehab.

A countless number of people have gone through our inpatient drug rehab program and found that it has helped them to be successful in their recoveries. Even so, you deserve to get some answers to your many questions, and you need the right information before you can decide what you want to do.

What Is Inpatient Drug Rehab, and How Can It Help You?

As you may or may not know, there are various options available to you when you start seeking out addiction treatment. One of those options is inpatient drug rehab, and this is the choice that most experts strongly advocate for. There are several reasons for that, including:

  • Being able to escape your rigorous daily schedule and relax for some time
  • Being able to focus on your recovery instead of focusing on your stress
  • Have qualified and experienced staff members available who can help you through each stage of your recovery
  • Being able to learn more about your addiction and how it has affected your life
  • Having the option to go through drug or alcohol detox as a way to help you manage your withdrawal symptoms
  • Removing yourself from others who may have contributed to your addictive behaviors regularly

These are just a few of the benefits of inpatient drug rehab, and there are so many others. Most of all, you should rest assured that here at Northpoint Recovery, our staff members are highly trained to assist you through every stage of your recovery from addiction. With their help, you’ll not only be able to stop using drugs or alcohol, but you’ll also be able to heal from the issues that led to your addiction-forming in the first place.

What Types of Treatment Methods are Used in an Inpatient Drug Rehab Program?

While each inpatient drug treatment program is different, we always provide patients with treatment plans designed to meet their unique needs here at Northpoint. That’s because you’re an individual with their own needs, and those needs are most likely going to be different from what someone else is experiencing. There will be shared therapeutic approaches, however. In general, you’ll most likely experience the following:

  • Group Therapy – This component of treatment often makes many people feel nervous, but it really shouldn’t. Time and time again, it has been shown that group therapy is an incredibly effective way to provide addiction treatment. Patients can often help each other through the recovery and healing process in ways that are so much different from the assistance they receive from therapists. You will find that many patients offer you an incredible amount of insight into the issues you’re facing, and you’ll also reap the rewards of helping others at the same time.
  • Individual Counseling – During your counseling sessions, you’ll learn so much about addiction that you never knew before. You’ll learn why people become addicted to drugs and alcohol and how addiction works in your brain. You’ll also learn to identify the root cause of your addiction, and once that’s identified, you’re more likely to be able to heal from it.
  • Health and Wellness Therapy – We advocate holistic addiction treatment methods at Northpoint Recovery. When you’re eating the right foods, getting plenty of physical exercise, taking care of your spiritual needs, and simply managing your health better, your body is much more able to overcome addiction. By promoting your overall good health, your body will function as it was designed to function, and you’ll begin to feel better before you know it.

What Addictions Do We Treat?

Some addictions are viewed as being less severe than other addictions, and because of this, people often tend not to get the help they need when they’re struggling. An excellent example of this is alcohol. Because alcohol is available to anyone old enough to buy it, its addictive nature is often minimized. As a result, people often assume that if they want to quit drinking alcohol, they need to do it independently or with the help of an Alcoholics Anonymous group. 

When you come to inpatient addiction treatment programs at Northpoint Recovery, all addictions are recognized as problematic, and they’re considered treatable. This is true whether you’re struggling with:

  • A long-standing addiction to alcohol
  • A short-term addiction to heroin
  • Accidental addiction to opiates or other prescription drugs
  • Possible addiction to marijuana
  • A dangerous addiction to crystal meth

We can help you overcome your addiction with the proper substance abuse treatment, no matter your addiction.

How do Inpatient Addiction Treatment Programs Address Withdrawal Symptoms?

Some drugs require help for withdrawal symptoms because of the dangerous side effects it can produce. Alcohol, heroin, and prescription drugs are some examples. Still, you’d like to know how your withdrawal symptoms will be addressed if you go into inpatient addiction treatment programs.

Drug and alcohol detox is the method that’s often used to help patients get through the worst parts of their withdrawal symptoms, and the various ways to accomplish detoxification are either through administering medication or by a more holistic approach.

When you take medication to aid in the drug and alcohol detox process, many experts believe that you’re just trading one drug for another. That’s because detox medications often carry their long list of withdrawal symptoms, and so once you stop them, you usually have to go through withdrawal all over again. These medications also have some serious side effects that have the potential to affect your overall recovery process.

A holistic approach to drug and alcohol detox provides you with a much safer way to go through the detoxification process. At Northpoint Recovery, we feel it’s a much better way. By making some changes to your diet and your physical fitness routine, your body can be trained to eliminate toxins on its own and effectively cut down the duration and severity of your withdrawal.
